I'm honest, intelligent, and a really nice guy. I'm about 6' tall
and weigh a little under 215. I'm in okay shape, but like most
people I'd like to lose a few pounds and tone a little. (I finally
got serious about it and started using an app on my geekbox to
actually track my calories, and I am making slow progress.) I play
hockey and soccer (both poorly, but they're fun :-) so that helps
me stay somewhat active.

I have an insatiable curiosity and I'm interested in almost
anything. Except plants. I mean, sure, they're easy to sneak up on.
If you put one down, chances are it'll still be there the next day.
But they're so helpless. You can't put one in the living room and
say, "Water's in the kitchen. Help yourself." (I think that last
line is from a Seinfeld bit.)

I live in the Dallas area doing web development for the family
business, a printing company in Lincoln, NE. I've done game
development in the past and likely will again.

I'm a geek, and fiercely proud of it :) My dining room holds a
pinball machine and a few arcade games. My living room is dominated
by a pool table. And I have multiple computers running SETI@Home
24/7.

I get along with almost everyone, so sometimes it's hard to narrow
down what I'm looking for. The important facets would be someone
honest, very intelligent, fun, pretty, has curiosity about the
world and the people around her. Probably at least a little bit
geeky. Someone upbeat, who doesn't sweat the small stuff. Excessive
negativity is just too draining. Average build or slimmer. (As
non-PC as it is to say it, if I'm honest with myself then "a few
extra pounds" and "curvy" just don't work for me.)

Most people would call me an atheist. I call myself a skeptical
agnostic. Meaning, I can't be certain that there's not a God, but
everything I know about how the universe works tells me that one
isn't needed. And coming from the other direction, everything I
know about people tells me that every religion is just a collection
of myths. So I would not be a good match for someone looking for a
spiritual partner.

While I'm willing to date someone with kids, casually, I'm not
interested in raising children. I don't hate children or anything
like that. But most people consider being a parent an integral part
of being an adult. They can't conceive of life without children.
They feel a strong compulsion to have kids. But not me. I simply
don't feel that compulsion. Raising children is very important and
it's all-consuming and not something one can "try out" to see if
one likes it. One should be very sure that's what they want to do.
I've been told several times that I'm good with kids. Patient, try
to not talk down to them. But, I'm pretty sure raising them is not
what I want, so I probably shouldn't.

I can be shy at first. Though one person told me I'm not really
shy, so much as reserved. I have opinions and I'm pretty capable at
articulating them. I can be very quiet in a group setting. I tend
to do better one-on-one. I've been told many times I'm a good
listener.

I do check emails on here, and check out the visitors (that
curiosity thing.) I rarely have this window at the front, so I
probably won't notice an IM on here. I have all the messengers if
you want to chat. And, if you want to read some more of my
thoughts, check out the rants on my website.
